Ben · Answer

Yes there are roof lanterns that open in all different varieties, electronic or manual depending on your budget and style of roof

Paul · Answer

Hi Sarah. There are flat lanterns and hipped lanterns. Depends which ones you mean. Flat ones can be openable and are either manually operated on a fixed arm that opens so far to one position. or there are motorized chain driven ones with an activator that you operate with a rocker switch similar to a light switch to open and close.  A hipped lantern ( like a small shaped roof) dependig on size, can have openers that operate in a similar fashion to the flat rooflight lanterns. If small enough, the entire hipped lantern can open. On a large on, a section opens. Obviously, a quality installation/ product is required to make sure all is watertight when closed.

Hi Roof Lanterns are available with options for opening with a reach pole or remote control operation 
The remote control is obviously more expensive in my opinion the roof lateen reach pole is adequate and easy to use

Good afternoon,

In response to your question, we have lanterns with an openable top vent which can be manual or electric opening

Aimee · Answer

Yes, you can. There are 2 options Electric and Lever/Chain mechanisms. Electrical is obviously very easy as there is no effort required just additional installation costs (usually starting around £1500 upwards). Lever/Chain are cheaper but effort is generally affected by the standard of installation and the brand selected.
